I don't know, I didn't live in the units. But if the address of Unit 1 is 2650 Durant Ave., and your room number is #1234, then I have to assume the package goes to Unit 1 #1234's mailbox. I doubt they duplicate numbers for different buildings.

For example, in Foothill, I used the following:

Eudean Sun
F3-3B33C
Berkeley, CA, etc.

F3 = Building 3
3B33C = My room

However, there was no other 3B33C for any other building. That was extraneous. I don't think the mailperson even handles which box it goes into. They deliver the mail to the unit, and people that work at the units put the mail into the boxes (at least that's what Foothill was like: mail went to the main office and you could see students wheeling it into the mail room).

So, in conclusion, if you put Unit 1's address down and your room number, you'll probably get your package.

Hmmm, I don't know. I really don't know much about the units, so I can't say for sure. C8-212 must be the room number since it says RM in front of it, but I don't know why the address has #2288 next to it. Must be a building number or something.

i think those four numbers correspond to some sort of PO Box (i'm guessing your mail goes to this box?) because they're the last four numbers of you're zip code. normally those four numbers are the PO Box # (i know from sending in lots of rebates)
